I think you're looking for the oil bath type. There were different styles but I believe yours came with the kind similar to the one Big Kev has on his engine that sits on carb--only taller and not as wide. It could have been optioned for the senior engine type though that straddles the block, one end on carb, other on a bracket on drivers side behind oil filler. Either will work, depending on what you can find that fits the carb and lets the hood close.

Edit: I have the tendency to call all oil bath, but I think maybe that's not proper terminology. Dry to me is like the paper filter, maybe oil wetted where the element is actually not sitting above a pool of oil is what vendor is calling dry and oil bath is where you add 1/2 qt oil to a reservoir. Am sure Mr Owen-D will have the correct usage to enlighten.
